First time, I made it about 2000 miles. After several deaths in GA and NC, I made it to Yankeeland a few more times, but still no finish.
I have learned that I am not healthy enough for a thru-hike.
Most disturbing is that I have grown a beard.

Aw dang it! I was soooo close. I came within 1,845 miles of the goal...and then I caught Lymes Disease. That just sucks! I probably would have gone broke anyway...I only had 300 and something dollars left in my pocket. Maybe next time when I feel up to staying up this late.
I died at just past 2100 miles.... so close.
Hiking as a "retiree" is the easiest, "professional" is harder and "student" seems to be impossible in my experience.
I finally finished on my 5th attempt!!! Money was no longer an issue once I learned to avoid sleeping in town unless I absolutely needed health or energy.
Tried it again this morning. Died in Virginia.
I've made it to 200 miles to go and round ran out of money and today I was on a good roll and accidentally closed the tab lol
YES...2nd try and made it to the end with over $500 left...only sleep in town when you have to and don't let your health get much below 50%...a snakebite will take 50% health away and your are dead meat, that is what happened to me the first try!
Well, Looks like i got norovirus, lime desease and skunked all in the same day....bad luck

I can't seem to put many miles together...keep getting Syphilis in some little bar in North Georgia called the dew drop Inn.
i am so glad i am pre-video games. never got the hang of pong and quit there.
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
Made it on fifth attempt as a "Professional" with UL gear. Sounds about right...
14.9 miles per day average, 29 zeroes, and a whole lot of really long days in between the zeroes. Less than $200 remaining, but I pumped up the health at the end.
The game was a little loose with resupply points in the HMW, but with 5 days food max and White House Landing now closed, the 100 miles might be pretty difficult for many.
Fun game. Still don't feel like hiking any "hills" anytime soon though...
